	Connectedness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, connectedness is used to refer to various properties meaning, in some sense, "all one piece".
		However this concept turns out to be different from standard topological connectedness; in particular, there are connected topological spaces for which this property does not hold.
		For example, in graph theory, a connected graph is one from which we must remove at least one vertex to create a disconnected graph.

	ACQTC -- Connectedness (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		This connectedness is one which extends from the farthest reaches of the galaxies to the deepest reaches of the infinitesimal.
		Connectedness is knowing that you are a part of something greater than yourself and that what you do really does make a difference.
		Connectedness gave our shamans the power to make the tents tremble or to know when the earthquake would come or to stand tall when the oppressors bullets struck down without mercy everything they loved.

	Connectedness
		The purpose of this article is to examine the principle of connectedness using the newly obtained knowledge from quantum physics and the research that has been done with plants and human communication by Cleve Backster.
		Connectedness means that nothing is separate although it may appear that way.
		This communication between plants and animals, detected by the polygraph, exhibited a form of connectedness that appears to be beyond the physical radio wave or the electromagnetic spectrum since these forms of energy cannot read minds and intentions.

		Connectedness can be defined as a measure of the relationships between herds or contemporary groups as they affect the accuracy of comparing the genetic values of animals from one herd or group to the other.
		Connectedness ratings were computed for all herds with at least 10 pigs probed in the second half of 1997, separately for each breed.
		Even higher degrees of connectedness may be possible as a result of connections through common ancestors such as grandparents or as a result of placing pigs from the same litters in two herds.

		Connectedness was much less strongly related to dysphoria and neuroticism, and it was positively related to agreeableness and conscientiousness.
		Connectedness, in contrast, was unrelated to the dominant-submissive axis, but positively related to self-reported warmth.
		Correlations were computed between neediness and connectedness and the average number and duration of participants' interactions, participants' average ratings of the intimacy of their interactions, their perceptions of the degree to which they initiated and influenced their interactions (power), and the pleasantness of their interactions.

	Family Connectedness and Sexual Risk-Taking Among Urban Youth Attending Alternative Hight Schools
		Among females, higher perceived family connectedness was associated with reduced odds of ever having had sex or having initiated sex prior to age 13 (0.96 for each); males who perceived higher family connectedness had reduced odds of having been involved in a pregnancy (0.93).
		Among females, higher perceived family connectedness was significantly associated with a reduced likelihood of being sexually experienced and having initiated sex before the age of 13 (0.96 for each); among males, higher perception of family connectedness was significantly associated with a reduced likelihood of having impregnated a partner (0.93).
		However, scores for family connectedness ranged from one to the maximum of 42, and 17% of students scored 20 or lower, which suggests that the sample was not restricted to students with high perceptions of family connectedness.

	Cornell News: Youth school and community connectedness
		For school connectedness, adult-youth relationships, classroom practices, institutional policies and practices, school curricula and academic pressure were the most influential factors.
		For community connectedness, the most influential factors were adult-youth relations, power and voice in community affairs, attitudes toward youth in public spaces and opportunities for creative engagement.
		A short publication based on the implications of her research, "Fostering School Connectedness," is available on the Web at http://www.human.cornell.edu/actforyouth/guides.cfm.

	Journal of Vision - Differential effects of 2-D versus 3-D connectedness on object transformations, by Koning & van ...
		Physical connectedness between objects is one of the factors that determines their representational unity.
		Previous studies, in which connectedness of two-dimensional (2-D) shapes was used to manipulate representational unity, have shown speeded recognition for connected shapes compared to disconnected shapes.
		The first refers to the connectedness in the image itself, while the latter refers to the connectedness of the interpreted objects (that is, the objects that gave rise to the image).

	Children, Youth and Family Consortium
		School connectedness was the most salient protective factor for both boys and girls against the acting out behaviours, second in importance after family connectedness for the quietly disturbed behaviours.
		The salience of school connectedness as a protective factor against adolescent high-risk behaviours strengthens the arguments of educators, health officials, and youth advocates that there must be closer collaboration between the health and education sectors in order to promote both the well-being and educability of young people (10, 55, 56).
		The importance of religious or spiritual connectedness in these multivariate assessments is consistent with other analyses that have demonstrated that adolescents who describe themselves as more religiously observant or affiliated with religious institutions are less likely to engage in high-risk behaviours than their counterparts (43).

		The first is the quality of relationships, the second is the ability to participate in a wide variety of social roles, and the third is the value society places on caring and nurturing roles that might have no measured economic benefit but play a vital part in promoting wellbeing and strengthening communities.
		Social connectedness is fostered when family relationships are positive, and when people have the skills and opportunities to make friends and to interact constructively with others.
		Relevance: An important reflection of social connectedness is found in the extent to which people are in regular contact with family and friends, and the extent to which they participate in family (whanau) activities.

	Study of School "Connectedness" Identifies Adolescents at Risk, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The researchers defined school connectedness as an adolescent's experience of caring at school and sense of closeness to school personnel and environment.
		For example, studies have shown that high school students with high connectedness have lower rates of emotional distress, tendencies toward suicide, violence, substance abuse, and early sexual initiation.
		School connectedness is more protective than any other factor -- including family connectedness -- against absenteeism, delinquency, multiple drug use, and pregnancy, according to Dr. Bonny.

	(04/11/02) Add Health survey on school connectedness (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Blum and his colleagues found that the average level of school connectedness among all schools is 3.64 on a scale of 1 to 5, indicating that most students feel more than moderately connected to their schools.
		The survey results show that overall school connectedness is high in schools whose classrooms are places where students get along with each other and with their teachers, are engaged in learning, and complete their assignments.
		The researchers found that school connectedness is lower in schools with harsher discipline policies, for example, zero-tolerance polices that impose out-of-school suspension or even expulsion for a first-time offense.

	IYD: Protective Connectedness
		“Connectedness” has been shown to protect young people from a wide range of risk factors – a sense of being connected to family and a sense of being connected to school.
		Young people who, for example, feel connected to their school are less likely to use alcohol and other drugs, to engage in violent or deviant behavior, to become pregnant, or to experience emotional problems.
		It’s not that the food is so great (though surely, your cooking is!) it’s that the conversation is. The dinner table is where we catch up on each other’s day; tell the funny, sad, inspiring, or stupid thing that happened at school or work; and have to listen to each other.

	Alternative Therapies
		Until recently, the concept of connectedness was treated as not suited for scientific study.
		To test the extent of connectedness, other researchers have attempted to isolate people and/or events from each other such that no known means of sensory interaction between them was possible.
		This belief is also reflected in ancient Buddhist philosophy as "the state of total completeness." The "Noble-One" is said to preside over all things as "the pure and total presence of awakeness."86 Similarly, in Christianity it is said that those who are beholden to the son of God are part of the body of Christ.

	The Body: Family Connectedness and Sexual Risk-Taking Among Urban Youth Attending Alternative High Schools
		Family connectedness was measured using responses to 14 statements such as "Our family members feel very close to each other" or "I prefer being with my friends than being with my family." Responses were scored on a four-point scale ranging from zero (strongly agree) to three (strongly disagree).
		The researchers found that participants who perceived having greater family connectedness were significantly less likely than those with lower perceived family connectedness to report having had sexual intercourse, having had recent sexual intercourse without a condom, or having been involved in a pregnancy.
		The researchers concluded that students' perception of family connectedness may be a protective factor related to sexual risk-taking, even among such high-risk youth as those who attend alternative schools.

	School Connectedness and the Ecology of Care: Explaining Adolescent Perceptions of Being Cared About at School (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Recent inquiry into the relationship between school "connectedness" and social health outcomes finds that an adolescent's perception of being cared for at school is protective against a variety of negative health outcomes.
		Studies exploring the idea of school "connectedness" frequently operationalize it through measures of the degree to which students feel cared for.
		Indeed, survey data permits extrapolation of an empirically derived SEM model of school connectedness that explains 70% of the variance in perceived school connectedness and 50% of the variance in community connectedness.

		There are generally four types of connectedness, each (amazingly enough!) connected in some way to the others.
		When it comes to connectedness, the change required is a loving, rather than fearful, perception that wholeness prevails in the Universe.

	Synchronicity and Acausal Connectedness - Jim Fournier
		In this case I do not think that Jung's use of the term "general acausal connectedness" is necessarily any better than Mansfield's, but Mansfield would have been wiser to instead coin his own new term to describe only his subset of synchronicities which involve seminal experiences in one's psycho-spiritual growth or "individuation process".
		He made a distinction between unique synchronicity phenomena which were unpredictable, rare and un-repeatable and a concept of a general acausal connectedness which he seemed to use to refer to the consistent and predictable, but causally unexplainable just-so-ness of the natural numbers, radioactive decay, non-locality in atomic interactions etc.
		I believe that this may be a critically important distinction to bear in mind in trying to understand the nature of the whole spectrum of general acausal connectedness.

		In the study, school connectedness was defined as students’ positive answers to questions regarding whether they feel close to people at school, feel part of school, feel safe at school, and feel that teachers treat students fairly.
		In addition, the location of the school (rural, suburban, urban); the type of school (public, private, parochial); and the number of years of the teachers’ experience also were not factors in whether a student felt connected to his or her school.
		This article is based on his presentation, “Promoting Student Connectedness to School: Evidence from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health,” at the 2002 National Technical Assistance Meeting, Washington, DC.
